All We Imagine as Light is a 2024 drama film written and directed by Payal Kapadia. The cast includes Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam and Hridhu Haroon.

The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May 2024, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or and won the Grand Prix. It was the first film from India to compete in the main competition since 1994.

The list of this film's accolades and nominations continues to grow, with two Golden Globe nominations for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director. For a complete list: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32086077/awards/

The light, the lives, and the textures of contemporary, working-class Mumbai are explored and celebrated by writer/director Payal Kapadia. Centering on two roommates who also work together in a city hospital — head nurse Prabha and recent hire Anu — plus their coworker, cook Parvaty, Kapadia’s film alights on moments of connection and heartache, hope and disappointment to create a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood, in all its complexities and richness.

Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
